Description
The Download and Install page states that at least Python 3.8 or newer is required to install Emscripten. That might be true - the installation succeeds with Python version 3.9 - but after installation "emcc --version" crashes with a syntax error in a Python script. Installing Python version 3.14 resolved the issue. It might be recommendable to specify on this page the Python version actually required to run emcc.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the repository’s Download and Install page and reproduce the reported behavior by running emcc --version under the documented Python versions. Verify which Python version is required to run emcc, then update that page so the installation and runtime requirement is accurate.
